Nigel Benn's punching power biggest myth in Boxing yes he was a big puncher but he was not the concussive knockout artist people believe he was,he was no Julian Jackson or Naseem Hamed punching power wise
there are a lot of excuses floating about when you mention Benn's punching power people like to say he never carried his punching power up to 168 and if Eubank,Collins said he hit so hard then he must of been the puncher people believe he is or was,Eubank had Collins over hurt BTW where as Benn could not in two fights
reallity is Benn knocked out a lot of Bums on his way up and most of them with one punch finishes but when his competition level stepped up his knockouts dried up he did not even knockout Iran Barkley he was stopped on the 3 KD rule he never hurt Michael Watson once he could not get rid of Sugar Boy Malinga,Galvano was stopped on cuts if i remember right and he went the full 12 in the rematch he could not stop Juan Carlos Gimenez Ferreyra either or Henry Wharton ,Nardiello basically just mentally gave up and Perez was a bum and Benn never really hurt McClellan or staggered him either we all know why he was going down
Benn knocked out people he was suposed to knockout Lou Gent,Nicky Piper TKO,Kid Milo TKO,Dan Sherry cause he was a big puncher but REAL big hitters like Jackson and Hamed knocked out guys that dont get stopped and were current or former world champs at the time and with single shots aswell a lot of the time and Benn never did this
